Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
yeah I have the greatest respect for any and everyone in that ring because it only takes one shot right?

Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
Wow. Thanks for posting that!
Powerful stuff!
I can remember exactly where I was when I watched that and the look on everyones face in the pub as Benn got knocked out that ring!
But when he climbed back in we all knew he would win!
Did McClellan breed pitbulls for fighting?

Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
Don't know whether McClellan bred pitbulls, but there are horrible stories that have been told about his attitude towards dogs. Read 'War Baby' if you are interested in his fight with Benn. It's excellent. To change tack slightly, I think McClellan is a little overrated by some people. Yes he was a destructive puncher, but his defence wasn't great. As for Majesty - what is it with the Michael Jackson thing? Lets be honest - anyone who is still a fan of that disgrace should be ashamed of themselves.

Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
I have a real problem with Michael Jackson. I truly believe that awful crimes have been commited and the person responsible has not been brought to book.

I agree , anyone who liked Jackson at the start is sad , anyone who still likes him is one sick F.U.C.K !
By the way Majesty talks just like Jackson.

Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
Hey, before Michael Jackson turned bat shit crazy there is NOTHING wrong with his music. I don't like him, his music was fucking awesome as hell though.
After he got set on fire in that Pepsi commercial he really went off the deep end.
The Thriller album is the HEAT!
I would compare liking Michael Jackson's music but not really liking what he did outside of music to liking Gerald McClellan as a boxer and not liking what he did outside the ring.

Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
Why;d somebody always have to bring up stuff about Michael?
Its not like im going to school you saying that the girl who charged him is being sought after by the FBI for fraud because she has done this kind of thing before.
But this isnt about MJ its about Gerald McClellan and respect for him and I wanted to post this vid for the people who still remember that fight. I saw a thread about the fight so i posted this up. Great match but such a horrible aftermath :(

It is your picture of Jackson that offends many of us on here , so remove it and im pretty sure nobody will ever mention the sick f.u.c.k again.

Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
Al....go listen to your Gary Glitter cds and leave Majesty's Michael Jackson sig alone!
Michael Jackson is bat shit crazy now but there is absolutely nothing wrong with his music and in fact I DEMAND an appology for dissing his music!
Al appologize or I will be forced to destroy your rep :mad:

Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
Al....you have been warned. You have til tomorrow morning to comply ;D
....I'm serious :mad:
Really ;D

Lyle its only an opinion on Jackson's music , i was making the point that Her Majesty was complaining about people trashing Jackson ( that wasnt just me ) so i said remove pic of him and nobody will mention it , as it has no relavance to boxing. As for you telling me what i can and cant think , well that Lyle is questionable at best.

Shooting dogs and running over Flamingos is on a par with kiddie fiddling?

Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
I was drawing a comparison that beyond what they did for a living they weren't the best of people but it doesn't make what they did in their careers any less impressive.
Al, you're trying to tell Majesty what he can and can't put in his sig....so YEAH I reckon I can tell you what to freaking like then if I'm playing by your rules then.

Lyle i wasnt telling him to remove it , he complained people were slagging of Jackson , all i said was if he removed Jackson's picture , then how would anyone know he liked him ? therefore nobody will slate Jackson.
See my point ?
Personally i couldnt give a toss either way.
As for my rules i think you are reading a bit much into this.;D

Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
Theres one thing thats always puzzeld me about that fight. At the weigth in Mc Clellan was 4lb under strange for someone struggleing at middle Its always puzzled me, was he Dehydrated, did someone fuck up.

Re: Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan
I think it was the tough sparring that did him in before the fight...I think Benn just exacerbated the problem

Actually my post was directed towards YOU. And my issue wasnt that you were bashing michael, I could care less who bashes someone I'm gonna remain a fan.
My issue was why were you bringing up michael jackson in a thread that has absolutely NOTHING to do with him ???

Yes.
Gerald did breed Pitbulls for fighting, he had a big reputation in that "sport."

Brendan Ingle mentioned this to me.
Gerald remains a huge talking point in the world of boxing. Many who condemn his past actions, go as far as to claim he deserves his condition.
However, Gerald was a product of his environment. He is not a unique case, he's merely a man who gained recognition and had his flaws recognised by a wider audience.
Many of the people who condemn him and his clique realise that there are numerous others growing up in a similar environment yet never make any active atempts to help such peole and in turn dissuade these activities.
